PPP & partnership
Uzbekistan has the water, the legal framework and the financing programmes. We supply the machines and the engineering.
Demand and state support
Electricity demand is expected to double by 2030, while three quarters of the country's hydropower potential remains unused. The state has responded with legislation, targets and financing:
PPP Law in force since June 2019 — with PPP units inside the Ministry of Energy
PPA terms with guaranteed offtake, proven in Uzbekistan's solar and wind IPPs
World Bank programme for 100 kW–5 MW plants on irrigation canals, 2025–2030
micro-HPP sites in the national 2025–2026 programme (~165 MW combined)
93% of the canal sites identified in Uzbekistan are in the 100–1 000 kW range with low heads — exactly the range covered by Kaplan S/PIT units and TM siphon packages. For mountain rivers in the Tashkent, Namangan and Surkhandarya regions, Francis and Pelton units cover heads up to 1 000 m.
The manufacturer
Mavel designs, machines, assembles and test-runs every unit at its own plants in the Czech Republic. Everything that determines how the machine performs is done in-house.
of production and assembly floor across two Czech plants
production machines, incl. 5- and 6-axis CNC centres
crane capacity for full-size runner handling
civil, hydraulic, electrical and mechanical engineers
Runner machining
Runners are milled from a single forging or casting on 5- and 6-axis CNC centres — no welded blade assemblies.
Full assembly
Every turbine is completely assembled and fitted in the workshop before it is prepared for transport.
Factory testing
Units are test-run and the control system is commissioned at the factory, so commissioning on site only confirms the results.
Hydraulic design
Over 100 proprietary runner geometries. The hydraulic profile is selected and adapted to the head and flow of your site.
Certification

- ISO 3834-2:2005
Held by Mavel, a.s. and covering design, manufacture and welding of hydro-mechanical equipment.
EPC contractors
Complete equipment packages with guaranteed interfaces, factory testing, installation supervision and commissioning. This limits your schedule risk.
Public institutions
Technical documentation, feasibility input and European-manufactured equipment with ISO 9001/14001 certification for modernization and new-build programmes.
Developers & investors
Turbine selection and energy-yield calculations from your site data, budgetary pricing for bankable feasibility studies, and O&M support for the PPA term.
- 01
Site data
You send the head, the flow series and site photos. We confirm the turbine type and unit sizing.
- 02
Feasibility
Energy yield, equipment scope and budgetary pricing for your financial model.
- 03
Contract & engineering
Binding proposal, hydraulic design, civil-works interfaces for your EPC.
- 04
Manufacturing
Production and full assembly testing in the Czech Republic. Every unit is test-run before shipment.
- 05
Commissioning
Installation supervision, grid connection, trial operation and operator training.
- 06
Operation
Remote monitoring, spare parts and service support — for the whole term of the PPA.
From a single canal drop to a regional programme: we will select the machines for each site.
